Corpus Christi Procession to Take Place in Mitchell

MITCHELL, SD—The Mitchell Catholic Parishes of Holy Family and Holy Spirit will host a Corpus Christi procession on Sunday, June 2, 2024 at 12:00 PM in honor of the Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ.

During the procession, the Blessed Sacrament will be carried by a priest to bring Jesus out into our community. Children who received their sacrament of First Communion this spring will be invited to lead the procession and strew flower petals along the path. Parishioners and guests are welcome to follow behind. Attendees can walk any portion of the procession or drive ahead to the stops and wait.

The route will start at Holy Spirit Catholic Church, go west on Elm Street, north on the sidewalk along Ohlman Avenue, turn east on Ash Avenue, and make a stop at the Pro Ecclesia Sancta Formation House (former Franciscan convent). After a time of adoration, the procession will continue east on Ash Avenue, turn south on Edgerton Street, and return to Holy Spirit Catholic Church. The total route is approximately 1.2 miles. A reception will follow at Holy Spirit church.

The Corpus Christi procession is a centuries-old tradition of the Catholic faith. For more information on Mitchell Catholic Parishes or the Procession, visit mitchellcatholic.org or contact Holy Family at 605-996-3639 or Holy Spirit at 605-996-7424.
